find enclosed a Notepad++ [1] syntax highlighting for gnuplot code.
You only have to build the file userDefineLang.xml and put it into
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\<user>\Anwendungsdaten\Notepad++

nice to see, that there are more people using Notepad++ to create their
gnuplot scripts. I have some proposals for your language file:
1) add 'dem' to the list of extensions (demo files).
2) set Prefix words to no, except for
3) <Prefix words1="no" words2="no" words3="no" words4="yes" />
...
<Keywords name="Words4">$</Keywords>
This renders $0 $1 ... in an own style. Though technically $ is an
operator I find this very convenient.
4) Following is a list of my additions to the word lists:
commands:
+ else
+ lower
+ raise
+ refresh
+ screendump
+ smooth
+ via
// you've got unset twice
variables:
+ acsplines
+ bezier
+ binary
+ csplines
+ frequency
+ macros
+ matrix
+ object
+ sbeszier
+ table
+ termoption
+ unique
+ xyplane
+ zzeroaxis
- fit
- plot
// technically they are both commands and variables, but I would just
define them once in commands:
functions:
+ exists
+ gprintf
+ sprintf
+ stringcolumn
+ strlen
+ strstrt
+ substr
+ system
+ word
+ words
+ pi // didn't know where to put this. A constant function if you want.
constants (add them to functions or use Words4, if you do not want to
put $ there):

5) Actually I consider gnuplot scripts as sort of programming with a
write-test-release cycle. So I configured Notepad++ as my gnuplot-IDE. I
use a batch file and two gnuplot files as a small framework to plot to
screen or file. This can be called form within Notepad++ by shortcuts.
Though it's not in a release state it's already quite handy. Also the
most annoying problem (no error output in windows) can be solved now by
logging the console output of wgnuplot to a file (submitted as patch
1996818).
If there is interest I can post details when I'm back from holiday.

Tim
